A "TALL" JAPANESE STORY.

AMAZING FRIESIAN RECORDS. All buttorfat records appear to have been knocked considerably westward by two Japanese cows. The Japanese visitors to the World’s Dairy Congress, held at Syracuse, U.S.A., brought along a bulletin of the Central Association of Animal Industry of Japan. It gives the advanced registry records and photographs of two 1 Friesian cows of any breed, if the records are accurate. One of these cows, Ellen .Pioterje Gransou, produced in 305 days 41,112 Tb ol milk and 17931 bof fat. The other cow. Frins Anna Roland 10th, produced 37,9231 b of milk and 18271 b of-fat. Her average daily production of milk was 103.891 b, and of fat 51b. Ellen’s average daily production of milk was 112.0311), and of fat 4.361 b. The record of Ellen’s feed shows eighteen ingredients, including bran, barley, sweet potato, rice, soya bean, anil various native products, no fewer than five of the eighteen being fed in the form of soup or gruel. She ate an average of 05.91 b of feed per day, including green feed. Frins had a good appetite, too, for she ate in addition to grass 121 b bran, 181 b amo-kasu (waste refuse of glutinous rice jelly), slli of barley brim, and 481 b of iofuksau (soya bean curd refuse); A British agricultural .journal, in discussing this story, asks, “ Must we class our Japanese records, with some made years ago ” Wli icily -of - course,-means that they were not made at all. -
